i'm actually just looking at mine now. i notice there are two spring bolts on either end of the second cat. the test pipe i got came with two regular bolts and one gasket. now i'm confused... am i supposed to reuse two of the spring bolts or replace all four with regular bolts?

I got all new bolts and nuts at hardware store with locking washers...worked like a champ. I too had an issue with cs's test pipe with high flow cat fitting onto my turbo xs downpipe. Their parts only work with their own parts I do believe, I had to sell mine as well back when I tried to fit it on.
 
Yesterday I had to take off the front bumper to adjust a front mount pipe and to paint the bracket that Protege Garage sent with the kit because it was really rusted after a week...sooo while I was there with the bumper off I installed a low tone horn(the highway blaster? from autozone). Sounds a lot better now.

sounds like im having the same problem. the CS testpipe i got didnt have any hardware, and didnt mate up correctly to my cobb cbe. so i went to home depot, got some regular bolts w/ lock washers. fixed the leak, but pushed one of the exhaust hangers against the tunnel......holy rattle! sounded like my car had a bent rod. so i replaced the regular bolts with the spring bolts again, and now the leak is even bigger. I has honda sound....can i get honda reliability tho?
